Description
Hi:
The javadoc for Transformer.setParameter(String, Object value) method describes the second parameter as
value: The value object. THis can be any valid Java Object. It is upto the processor to provide the proper object coercion or to simply pass the Object on for use in an extension
Section 4.3.1 "Objects" of Java Language specification ( 2nd Ed. ) states that
"The reference values ( often just references ) are pointers to these objects, and a special null reference, which refers to no object"
That seems to be the clear indication that "null" can't be considered a valid Java Object and is not permissible as the second parameter of the setParameter method.
